PS1 - All living and nonliving things are composed of matter having characterisitics [properties] that distinguish one substance from another.
2a. Students demonstrate an understanding of characteristics [properties] of matter by recognizing that different substances have properties, which allow them to be identified regardless of the size of the sample.
2b. classifying and comparing substances using characteristics [properties] (e.g. solid,liquid,gas)
National Standards:
NS.5-8.2 Physical Science
As a result of their activities in grades 5-8, all students should develop an understanding
Properties and changes of properties in matter
Context of Lesson:
Duration: 1 period/50 min
Review Bingo will be conducted the class before the unit test. Teacher will pass out Bingo cards to students and ask them review questions. Students will mark what they believe to be the answers for Bingo. Teacher will check answers. Students with Bingo get extra points on the test.
Opportunities to Learn:
Depth of Knowledge:
Levels 1-3. Students will have to recall what they have learned from the chapter and explain the relationships by participating in Bingo. If students complete the Bingo pattern they will have to justify why they believe it was the correct answer. Also, students must use the concepts that they have learned to answer questions when many different answers are possible.
Prerequisite Knowledge:
Students must have learned concepts presented in the unit "States of Matter". They must know definitions, concepts, characteristics, andphysical and chemical changes.
Plans for Differentiating Instruction:
Teacher may post Bingo question on overhead after the question is read aloud to class. This technique will assist students who have attention problems and who are visual learners.Reading the question will allow students to hear and then process information if they are auditory learners. Review Bingo will allow students who are kinesthetic learners to participate in a "hands-on" activity.
Accommodations and modifications:
For students with Sensory Impairments (Hearing and Vision),the students with hearing impairments should use a computer program/ear bug to hear the teacher. The teacher may want to stand near the special students with the light source in the front or beside him/her in order to allow them to see better. Teacher should speak directly to the students by maintaining eye contact (for possible lip-reading) during the activity. The students' Bingo cards may be enlarged for the vision-impaired. Teacher may also change the color of Bingo card to make reading easier by the limited vision child.
For students with Attention/Behavior Impairments, special seating near the front of the classroom to maintain eye contact with the teacher would be necessary.The teacher should assign a partner in each group for the attention and behavior impaired child to assist in keeping the child focused on the activity. The physical movement of a students will be allowed unless other classmates are distracted by their actions. A stress ball, small bean bag, etc. would give the students an opportunity to be more attentive during the activity.
Environmental factors:
Students need to be in a quiet classroom with the least possible distrations to gain the most out of this review. When a student gets "Bingo" the class can learn from the correct and incorrect answers.
Students will prepare for a unit test by participating in Review Bingo.
Instruction:
Opening:
Teacher reminds students that the next class there is a unit test. Teacher asks students if they have any questions about anything that they learned in the unit. Teacher answers any questions students may have. Teacher asks students if they are ready to play Review Bingo and tells them that if they win and indeed have all the right answers that they will get extra points on the test.
Teacher hands out Bingo cards to students with markers/candy to mark Bingo cards. Teacher gives different patterns that are worth different point value (ex. "X" pattern is 10 pts, "L" is 5pts, and a single line is 3pts). Teacher reads questions aloud and then posts them on overhead projector so students can have a visual. Students look for the answer to the questions on the Bingo card and "mark" them. Students who get "Bingo" have to get checked out by teacher to make sure answers were correct and get extra points on test.
Closure:
Teacher reviews questions and gives correct answers to students.
Teacher advises students to study hard and wishes them good luck on test.
Assessment:
Informal assessment with Bingo. Teacher will be able to clarify misconceptions and share with class.
Unit test on States of Matter will be final assessment.

Properties and changes of properties in matter
Context of Lesson:
Duration: 1 period/50 min
Students will take a chapter test on States of Matter and test will be used to assess students learning.
Opportunities to Learn:
Depth of Knowledge:
Levels 1-3. Students will have to recall what they have learned from the chapter. Students will have to apply what they have learned to be sed as evidence that they understand they concepts that were taught in this section. During the test, students will have to classify,predict,identify,and compare the different states of matter.
Prerequisite Knowledge:
States of Matter Unit
Plans for Differentiating Instruction:
Different assessment if needed, maybe a group/individual project on States of Matter or a research paper on a State of the students choice.
Include an illustration of a phase change in the test. Let students make up a question that was not asked on the test and answer it themselves with a written response. Students may have to describe the procedure of one experiment that they took part in during the unit.
Accommodations and modifications:
Scribe for students who need to type responses. Quiet room for students who are easily distracted. Extended time for test completion for students who need it. Tests read aloud or verbal tests can be offered if needed. Students who cannot write will be given oral exam.
Environmental factors:
Classroom free from pressure. Students arranged with desks apart in rows. Comfortable climate and lighting.
Materials:
Unit test
Objectives:
Students will be assessed by a unit test on States of Matter
Instruction:
Opening:
Teacher tells students they will be taking the final test for the unit on States of Matter.
Asks if anyone has any last minute questions or need anything clarified.
Engagement:
Test handed out.
Closure:
If time is left the chapter test will be reviewed in class.
